Chapter 164: Don't Recruit Yourself

The ancestor got up early in the morning and was lively for most of the day, although there were constant surprises, after all, he was old and a little tired.

The sun has not yet set in the west, but the palace lamp in the palace has been hung high early, which is even more magnificent.

The lanterns are faint and blurry, and the candlelight illuminates the drunken lantern paintings of beautiful women, which is very charming.

In the light orange light and shadow, there seems to be the fragrance of wine.

Seeing that the old ancestor was tired, Gu Tingcheng proposed to the emperor to light the Kong Ming lantern as soon as possible to pray for blessings, so that the old ancestor could watch the Kong Ming lantern and then go back to the palace to rest.

"Okay, okay, everything will be up to Allure." Tuoba Tao's spoiled jaw head.

Gu Tingcheng instructed the salute and the palace people to start lighting the Kong Ming lantern prayer program.

Gu Qingcheng's eyes glanced at Princess Shanggu, but he saw that the corners of Princess Shanggu's mouth were slightly upturned, and she was smiling.

The master of ceremonies has already carried the Kong Ming lantern covered with red silk out of the Taiji Hall Square.

All the banquet attendees are looking forward to the finale of the final ceremony where the Kong Ming lantern will fly up and pray for blessings.

Princess Shanggu looked at Kong Minglan, and Fang Cai's smile became hesitant and worried again, and her face was uncertain.

After looking at the old ancestor and her father and queen mother with some worries and nervousness, she was a little timid and subconsciously stayed away from Kong Minglan.

The master of ceremonies, Wei Juan, was about to take the palace maid to uncover the red silk and take out the Kong Ming lantern to light it, but was stopped by Gu Tingcheng reaching out.

Gu Tingcheng said to Tuoba Tao and his ancestors:

"Ancestor, Your Majesty, today's ancestor's 80th birthday, the princes and grandchildren should all want to do their filial piety.

Princess Kamiya was originally going to dance for her ancestors, but she accidentally sprained her foot and failed to fulfill her filial piety.

Come to think of it, Princess Kamiya regrets it deeply.

Allure wants to invite the princess of Shanggu to pray for the ancestors to light the Kong Ming lantern, which will not damage the foot injury of the princess of Shanggu, but also fulfill her filial piety.

Please ask for the permission of our ancestors and Your Majesty. ”

The old ancestor and Tuoba Tao both felt that Gu Qingcheng was thoughtful, and they both smiled and nodded.

"Ling'er, come here!" Tuoba Tao called to Tuoba Ling, the princess of Shanggu in the back.

Princess Kamiya frowned and made a bitter face, her heart turned back and forth, her face was uncertain, and she came to her father with crooked steps.

Gu Qingcheng stared at Princess Shanggu:

Similar to his age, smart, beautiful and cute.

Although he is a little arrogant, he also has a straightforward and upright face, and his bearing is quite similar to Sister Mulan.

It's not like Gu Chuyao and those sisters, they look like a stomach full of bad water.

She asked herself if she had never met the princess, and she had no grievances, so how could she harm herself?

Gu Qingcheng's eyes were shining, like a clear spring.

When the wind swept by, there were some ripples in this clear spring, and there was a slight none, which made Tuoba Ling stunned.

It's a bit of a flash!

This bit of sharpness makes people feel cold on their backs.

When Tuoba Ling met her eyes again, Gu Qingcheng was already as indifferent as water.

Tuoba Linghu was suspicious, was it his own delusion to look at the edge of the city?

Are you really a thief and scare yourself?

"Ling'er, you accidentally sprained your foot and couldn't dance for your ancestors, you must be very sorry in your heart, right?" Tuoba Tao looked at the injured baby princess distressedly.

Tuoba Ling came back to his senses, pouted, and said, "When, of course, father, Ling'er deeply regrets it. ”

"Ling'er doesn't have to regret it now, you can light the Kong Ming lantern for the ancestors, pray for the ancestors, and pray for our Great Wei." Tuoba Tao said with a smile.

Stretching out his hand to signal Tuoba Ling, he went to light the Kong Ming lantern covered with red silk in front of him.

Tuoba Ling's face suddenly changed color, and he just said: "Let, let Ling'er light the lamp?" ”

Gu Qingcheng didn't know when he had come to her side to help her, and led Tuoba Ling to Kong Ming Lantern.

The so-called mutual support is actually half dragging and half pulling.

Tai Chi Plaza is crowded with people, and everyone is looking forward to it......

Gu Qingcheng helped Tuoba Ling, and just came to Kong Ming's lantern, but he suddenly lowered his head, as if he had found something and looked at Tuoba Ling's shoes.

"Oops, the princess's shoes are dirty." She whispered in Tuobaling's ear.

Bend over more carefully and pat the dirt off the shoes for Princess Kamiya.

Everyone felt that this Gu Qingcheng was too sensible and considerate.

Only Tuoba Junxiao looked at his Allure with interest, looking at the glittering things in her hands, and finally knew that Allure asked Zhan Ying for phosphorus powder last night.

I can't help but wonder in my heart:

Could it be that the person behind this is Aunt Jiu?

Aunt Jiu has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she has never met Allure, why would she harm Allure?

Could it be the queen's instructions?

His deep eyes glanced at the queen mother.

After Gu Qingcheng finished patting Princess Shanggu's shoes, he casually looked at his hands, and his fingers were full of white phosphorus powder.

Gu Qingcheng looked at the phosphorus powder in his hand, stretched out his hand in front of Tuoba Ling, tilted his head slightly, and looked puzzled.

Muttered with a little consternation: "Hey, this, what is this?" ”

Tuoba Ling saw Gu Qingcheng's surprise and doubts, and then saw the phosphorus powder in her hand, and his heart trembled:

It's phosphor powder! Could it be that Gu Chengcheng wiped his embroidered shoes for himself and got them on his hands?

She looked down and saw that her pair of embroidered shoes were indeed full of phosphorus powder, and she was shocked.

Gu Qingcheng glanced at Princess Shanggu's back and exclaimed in a low voice.

Quietly in Tuobaling's ear, he kindly reminded:

"Princess, you fat powder is flashing, although it is good-looking.

But why are you so careless, the shoes and the back of the dress are all stained with these shiny white powders?

Fortunately, it was not seen by others, otherwise it would be rude for people to laugh at the princess. ”

As soon as Tuoba Ling heard that the back of her dress was also stained with phosphorus powder, not to mention that the phosphorus powder could spontaneously combust when heated, and a little spark, she would harm the pond fish.

No matter who lights the Kong Ming lantern stained with phosphorus powder, he will bear the brunt of the fire, and he will definitely be burned to death.

Tuoba Ling's face was instantly frightened.

"Father, I don't light a fire!" Tuobaling's voice trembled.

"Ling'er, you just got a little foot injury and lit a fire, how can you push back and hold back?" Tuoba Tao shouted in a deep voice.

I felt that it was too unseemly for Tuoba Ling to speak like this in front of everyone.

His voice sank, and his face was displeased.

The old ancestor also sank his face, this kid is so arrogant, he can't dance with a sprained foot, light a Kong Ming lantern, and push back and forth.

So he said angrily:

"Since you don't want to pray for the ancestors to light lamps, that's it! It's better for the small allure to do it for you. ”

"No, Ancestor." Gu Qingcheng took the fire fold handed over by Wei Juan, and deliberately dangled beside Tuoba Ling.

Seeing that Gu Qingcheng, who was next to him, he was about to ignite a fire.

As soon as Gu Qingcheng lit the Kong Ming lantern, not only would he suffer, but his father, queen mother, ancestors, and so many people were afraid that they would be buried in the fire!

Tuoba Ling immediately grabbed Gu Qingcheng's hand and screamed to stop it: "Don't light the fire!" ”

"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Gu Qingcheng looked at Princess Shanggu with a surprised expression.

The fire fold seemed to be inadvertently handed over to the princess.

Tuoba Jun, who was standing on the side, began to laugh secretly, only making a good appearance of watching a good show, with a narrow play, looking at his lady and his flustered ninth aunt for a long time.

"Ling'er, what are you messing around?" Tuoba Tao suppressed his anger and shouted in a low voice.

Almost everyone in the square looked at Princess Kamiya with dissatisfaction, only the queen mother. Helian and Tuoba Han looked worried.

Of course, Yi Hun and Liu Rushuang looked nervous, and beads of sweat slowly oozed from their foreheads.

The chrysanthemums that bloomed on the ancestor's face had all withered and were covered with frost.

Tuoba Ling looked at so many eyes staring at him, and Gu Qingcheng didn't care about his own drinking, but still made a gesture to light up the fire.

It was as if he had seen how he had been burned by the flames, burned beyond recognition.

She turned pale with fright, and could no longer think about it, and said hurriedly:

"Father, Gu Tingcheng harbored evil intentions, sprinkled phosphorus powder on Kong Ming lanterns, and wanted to burn us to death on the birthday of our ancestors.

So...... This Kong Ming lantern can't be lit! ”

Everyone was shocked, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Tuoba Tao frowned and glared at Gu Qingcheng, unable to believe it: "Allure, you...... How dare you go against the grain? ”

Gu Qingcheng was calm, and he didn't answer Tuobatao's question, but smiled and asked Tuoba Ling leisurely:

"Princess Ueya, what phosphorus powder? What's that? How do you know that I sprinkled phosphorus powder on Kong Ming lanterns? ”

"Phosphorus powder, phosphorus powder can spontaneously combust when heated," Tuoba Ling's quibble said: "This princess...... I saw you sprinkle phosphorus powder on Kong Ming lanterns. ”

"Oh? Can phosphate powder spontaneously combust? ”

As Gu Qingcheng spoke, his hands suddenly caught fire, and everyone was shocked, and the Imperial Forest Army immediately stepped forward to protect His Majesty the Emperor and his ancestors.

Gu Qingcheng also lost his color and exclaimed:

"Oh my God, is the fat powder in my hand phosphorus powder? This phosphor powder can really spontaneously combust!

But this phosphorus powder, but I shine the shoes for Princess Shanggu, accidentally contaminated.

Princess Shanggu, why don't you take off your embroidered shoes and dresses quickly, the sun is still so hot now, if this fire burns the princess, even if it can be extinguished, the princess's flower and moon appearance, I'm afraid, will also be ruined! ”

Tuoba Ling's personal maid Yun Jiang, when she heard that the princess's dress was also stained with phosphorus powder, she didn't have time to think about the reason, so she was so frightened that she hurried to the princess's side to help take off the princess's dress.

In front of everyone's eyes, how could Princess Shanggu take off her dress?

Tuoba Ling jumped up in a hurry and threw off the embroidered shoes, and the embroidered shoes were thrown away, touching and rubbing against each other, and immediately burned.

Tuoba Ling looked at the burning embroidered shoes, his face was like ashes, and seeing that the flames in Gu Qingcheng's hands around him were about to affect the dress on his body, Tuoba Ling angrily scolded the Yun Jiang in front of him.

"Yun Jiang, you dead girl, didn't you tell you to clean up all those phosphorus powders?

I know that my father-in-law is going to wear this new dress to today's banquet, how did you get me all over my body! ”

"Princess, the phosphorus powder was sprinkled at that time, we, we didn't bring the phosphorus powder back to Bixia Palace. Slave maid, slave maid doesn't know, how can the princess's embroidered shoes and dresses be stained with phosphorus powder? ”

Yun Jiang also looked at the flame in Gu Qingcheng's hand in shock, and said uneasily.

Seeing that the embroidered shoes thrown away by the princess caught fire, she was even more frightened to death, sprinkling phosphorus powder is a trivial matter, and burning the princess to death is the nine clans.

"You're still arguing, if you weren't careful, how could this princess's well-behaved shoes and dress get stained with phosphorus powder?" Tuoba Ling was annoyed and embarrassed, and slapped Yun Jiang.

"It turns out that the phosphorus powder on Kong Ming's lantern was sprinkled by the princess and Rue Jiang." Gu Qingcheng looked at His Majesty and said slowly.

Tuoba Tao faced Gu Qingcheng's clear eyes, a little guilty.

Zhuan Yi looked at Tuoba Ling and Yun Jiang in shock and annoyance, his face was solemn and majestic, with the momentum of Mount Tai's overwhelming peak, and he endured the monstrous anger and asked Tuoba Ling:

"Ling'er, how do you know what phosphorus powder is, and what's going on with this phosphorus powder on your body?!"

Tuoba Ling looked at his father's unbearable rage, his head buzzed, and he was speechless for a moment.

The phosphorus fire in Gu Qingcheng's hand was still not extinguished, and he glanced around at everyone, especially Tuoba Tao, who had just asked him.

Looking at Tuoba Ling again, he said unhurriedly:

"Phosphorus powder is sprinkled on the Kong Ming lantern, and the palace is full of red silk ribbons, which is bound to cause a fire.

Allure, the host of the birthday banquet of the ancestors, deserves to be punished.

Dare to ask the princess of Shanggu, Allure and the princess have never met, there is no injustice and no revenge, why does the princess sprinkle phosphorus powder on the Kong Ming lantern and blame Allure? ”

If it weren't for the idiot, everyone understood what was going on, and everyone felt that Princess Kamiya was too deceitful.

Tuobatao's face had already sunk, and he was so angry that he glared and blew his beard.

The old ancestor glared angrily, his hands and feet trembled with anger, and he was shaking, and Mama Rong and a few palace people hurriedly supported him.

The old ancestor pointed at Tuoba Ling with trembling fingers, gritted his teeth and said, "Ling'er, you, you, you!" How dare you blame the mourning family?! ”

Feng Zuo Zhaoyi looked at Gu Qingcheng, with a smile of relief and bitterness on her face: This child is smarter and wiser than she expected.

Tuoba Jun covered his mouth and laughed narrowly, trying his best to hold his mouth, so that he didn't laugh out loud.

Looking at the calm and leisurely Gu Chengcheng, his Chengcheng was calm and calm, and he was able to easily resolve a catastrophe, and he could also expose the person who framed her in front of everyone.

He couldn't help but feel distressed again, and said secretly:

"Who is the woman who wants to harm me by the hand of Aunt Nine? Fortunately, my Allure is very smart, otherwise I would have my life at this moment?

The so-called Xiuwai Huizhong is my Allure. Such a precious lady, everyone covets it, you have to take a good look! ”

Tuoba Yu's eyes were shining, and he also looked at Gu Qingcheng as if he had found a treasure:

She actually resolved a disaster invisibly, and also took the Nine Emperor Sisters out of the horse's feet.

Tuoba Yu was pleased with Gu Chengcheng's intelligence, but he also looked at the Nine Emperor Sisters with dissatisfaction:

Allure is her future eighth sister-in-law, why would she want to harm her future princess?

Tuoba Han secretly gritted his teeth, looked at Queen Helian, and passed his eyes: I didn't expect Gu Qingcheng to come back to life like this?!

Of course, there is no shortage of people who gloat:

Helan Mingyue, Liyang County Lord, Li Shuang'er, Yihun and Liu Rushuang and others.

They began to be proud of Gu Chengcheng's guilt, and when they saw that she seemed to turn things around, they couldn't help but be secretly annoyed.

"Ling'er, say! Why the hell do you want to hurt Allure? Who told you to do it? Tuoba Tao was furious.

When asked who instructed Tuoba Ling, he gritted his teeth and glanced at Empress Helian.

The cold eyes seemed to be able to cut the queen with a thousand knives.

The queen couldn't help but chuckle in her heart.

"Father, you, you let Gu Qingcheng put out the fire on his hand first." Tuoba Ling looked at the flames in Gu Qingcheng's hand, cruising beside him, almost crying.

Tuoba Tao glanced at Gu Chengcheng softly, and Gu Chengcheng extinguished the flame in his hand.

Although Gu Qingcheng had no flame in his hands, Tuoba Ling was still very worried that the dress on his body would catch fire at any time when he saw that his embroidered shoes were on fire.

didn't dare to run, for fear of rubbing and heating and catching fire, and couldn't care about her appearance anymore, so she asked Yun Jiang to help her take off her outer skirt, but fortunately she also wore a bottom skirt.

Yun Jiang hurriedly took off his coat again and put it on for the princess.

Undressing like this in front of everyone's eyes, and putting on the dress of a palace maid, this dignified princess of Wei is really disrespectful!

Tuoba closed his eyes in anger.

Tuoba Ling's dress was thrown out, but no flames were burned.

Tuoba Ling saw that his sprinkling of phosphorus powder was revealed, but he was not afraid that his father would be held responsible, so he was frightened and disordered, and said solemnly:

"Father, no one instructed Ling'er, it was Ling'er who wanted to do the right thing for heaven, and he couldn't let such a vicious woman stay with the Eighth Emperor Brother."

"Nonsense!" Tuoba Tao shouted.
